In reply to Abhijit. Thanks for the kind words! That's a great combo for birding and sports - lots of reach with that crop sensor.

I could definitely crop the photos from the 5D Mark III, but since the two cameras are so similar in megapixel count (22mp on 5D3, 18mp on T3i) I would be losing a lot of resolution if I cropped to the equivalent of the T3i. This is where the pixel density of the T3i is really helpful – 18mp on that small sensor is really good for telephoto shots when you need it.

I ended up not really needing the extra reach though. The 5D Mark III is better in almost every other way besides reach.

In reply to longshot. No, this lens only works on Canon EOS cameras. However, you can buy a Sigma or Tamron telephoto lens for Olympus mount.

Will this lens mount on Olympus E300 body? (4-3ds) Some will interchange.

I’m not sure if I understand things correctly but you said you brought your Canon T3i for more reach but in my opinion you could get same reach and more quality by cropping your Canon’s 5D Mark III pictures.
